I am running photoshop 7 in windows xp pro.

I am creating an action set to automate a set of commands I run all the time. The last step is a Text layer. its always the same text (just different numbers) in the same place size and distortion.

Thats easy. The question is this. Is there a way to make it PROMPT me for the digits to put into this option?

Otherwise I can not automate the last step (flatten) I have to stop it there so they can edit the text field and then flatten. I would love for a little box to pop up with enter your text I put in D0xxxx (where xxxx is the number thats different each time) and press enter/ok and it puts that text and allows me to automate that final step of flattening the image.

Is this possible? if so how do I do it?

Thanks!

Chris,
After recording your action enable "dialog" option (click empty cell next to "Transform current layer" line). This makes your action to pause at this step, so you will be able to edit transformation settings in the Options bar.
